I think it was a good entertainer overall. Forget the plotholes, cuz every movie has em. It isnt supposed to be a masterful movie or an exceptional piece of horror movie-making, but it delivers a great atmosphere of terror. The characters being danced around as mere puppets in an exercise of grisly sadism is both revolting and unsettling.

Take out the ridiculous plot twist at the climax, and you have got one long blunt exercise which keeps slapping you in waves. Aja has done a commendable job with the movie, IMO. Not an easy movie to watch.
